The Authentiq Neurodiversity Coach

I had an amazing day of clinical sessions, like nearly all of my sessions yesterday but one consultation made me feel so bad because of the way the patient spoke to me. Why do we feel bad for someone who makes you feel small, despite you going above and beyond for them? I thought I would channel that energy for my grappling and sparring session with my PT but I just wasn't feeling it.

Today, I was on duty and supervising the amazing GPST3, something I've not done a while and really miss. I then found out I got some feedback from a patient who I had a telephone consultation with and it made everything that I do worth it. I was quite emotional when I read it. It proves that you can be neurodiverse and the sort of doctor patients want to see.

I went into my MMA training feeling a bit better than I have been about my training, feeling so out of my depth and completely not ready for my fight in about 2 weeks.

I didn't work too hard as I trained with someone who needed a bit more guidance but I still didn't have my usual enthusiasm. Though it's lovely to see everyone gelling so well during our training. My selfies started off with 3 people and has expanded and everyone wants in! 😅.

Last day tomorrow of a full working week and some sort of training every evening, so I'll be glad of a day off from training tomorrow. I'm allowed one day off, right?

If you want to book a coaching session on getting the most out of work, life and happiness, do drop me a DM, as I may have some time in April and May to take on a few coachees. Book me in before I fill my time up with another misinformed venture - I have a few in mind! 🤫🙈😁

In view of this week's Neurodiversity Celebration Week, focusing on celebrating the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, challenging stereotypes, and promoting inclusive environments in schools and workplaces, this post is perfectly timed for celebration.

Coaches need coaching, too! I didn't realise how much time and energy is saved until I've invested in myself with paying for someone else to coach me. Your confidence, abilities and stress levels can be transformed, giving you lifelong skills that makes your life amazing x1000 fold! See my posts to see how far I've come. This is the results of paying for specific ADHD coaching, a personal trainer and counselling instead of going on holidays and buying my own home. And I'd do it all over again to be the happier person I am now, in work, life and social activities.

Thank you to for fitting me into her busy schedule. One single coaching session has lifted a heavy weight I've been carrying for many years. Also thank you for the countless coaching sessions I've had with her over the years, all of which have contributed towards my amazing journey through life.

I apologise for the radio silence but so much going and so much more planned!

Being a dyslexic medic, I always felt like the underdog. I wasn't clever enough, quick enough and lacked confidence. Being self-employed, managing my own paperwork, timetable and life in general was a huge challenge.

The past 5 years, since I CCT'd, I have grown as a GP and individual. I have confidence in my abilities and skills, I value who I am in all aspects of my life and am able to be firm in how others value me. With the GP locum market being what is, I am still able to secure plenty of work at higher than the going rate and the staff treat me like a part of their team. I was touched by them decorated the best room for me to work in - and making it even longer for me to log in! - for my birthday. 🥹🥹

It's been a long journey, which continues, but I'm happy and there so much more exciting experiences to come!

Being dyslexic should not hold you back from being the best of your authentic self!

I took 3 months off from my work as a GP to reflect and work on myself. It's been a long journey through medical school, diagnosed with dyslexia, working with through medical school, junior doctor training and again during my GP training - thank you so much!

The time off has been transformative and for the first time, I feel at peace with who I am as a neurodivergent doctor, particularly as a portfolio GP. I love what I do, and I am able to do it with joy because of who I am. I also love supporting others through my coaching and it's always incredible to hear the continued positivity following a session and an added bonus when they message me their exam successes.

Embrace who you are and make it work for you. I have and cannot be happier. I have one of the best jobs in the world. 🥰🥰

I've had an amazing day today and I plan on having one every day from now on!

Lovely feedback from this incredible GP trainee who was struggling with her confidence and low self esteem for her exams. What an amazing score for her RCA on the first attempt!

Good luck to all those taking the SCA this week. Do as you would in practice - by being yourselves and being your authentic and amazing self!

Being a neurodiverse doctor means that you'll be an incredible doctor.
